Aquascaping help!

[jasonamyers]

I've just started adding corals to my tank, and I can't seem to come up with a good layout in my mind. I have three branch rocks and 3 shelf rocks. The left most shelf has a frog spawn and a Favia on it. The top most Rock has a rainbow torch on the far right of it, and a JF spitfire (tiny piece) in the rear center. The third rock has some zoas still on their frag disc that is easily removable. This is in a Red Sea max e 170. It has a single return in the upper right back corner of the tank. I don't have any other wave makers or anything. I recently bought the hammer, pink frogspawn, candy canes and Monty that are pictured in the sand. I'm totally open as to what to do. I'd like to not have to remove the frogspawn or rainbow from their rocks if possible. They are glued on well.

Cheers
Jason

dont do anything. just add corals in the places with appropriate flow. Yea it looks flat and empty now, but you have built a good base. Imagine a large (6 8 in) toadstool on the back left or a 4in stylo on the top right, the bottom "island arms" (I like those btw) covered with zoas and acans. drop a gorg in for extra height and boom!

More I think you may want to check if you have good overall flow for the types of coral youll be adding and have few dead spots.

So no. You dont need help aquascaping. It looks great.

I thought about what you said and turned a couple of rocks to make a bit more space in the middle, and it greatly improved the flow to the corals. Thank you so much for looking and the advice!
